When rock critic Greil Marcus asked 20 other writers on rock what one rock-and-roll album they'd want to take to a desert island, the resulting 20 fervent essays by the likes of Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, and Robert Christgau became this engaging book. It's a brief but intense amusement to imagine spending the rest of your life under a coconut palm listening to The Kinks, The Eagles, Van Morrison or The Ronettes.
The New York Times Book Review, Laurence Gonzales
[This] collection of essays [is] by turns thoughtful, compelling, sexy, hilarious, quirky--and surprisingly true to the basic impulse of rock-and-roll.
Book Description
A new edition of this classic of rock journalism that first asked the question: What one album would you bring to a desert island, and why?
In 1978, Greil Marcus asked twenty writers on rock--including Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, Nick Tosches, Ellen Willis, and Robert Christgau--a question: What one rock-and-roll album would you take to a desert island? The resulting essays were collected in Stranded, twenty passionate declarations to such albums as The Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet, the Ramones' Rocket to Russia, Something Else by the Kinks, and more. Universally revered as the ur-text of rock journalism, Stranded is an indispensable classic. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
